Castellis new aero Unlimited Skinsuit isnt the first gravel racing onesie isnt the first to integrate a sleeve for a hydration bladder on your hot, sweaty back. But together with its Rosso Corsa companion aero Unlimited Pro 2 Jersey for men & women, Castelli now offers more hydration-equipped options to boost your gravel racing aerodynamics than any other clothing maker. Castelli Unlimited gravel racing skinsuit & Pro 2 jerseys(All photos/Castelli)Whether you agree with Rule #32 or not, its clear that staying fueled and hydrated is a challenge for the longest, most intense gravel races. Many racers wear hydration vests to haul enough water and snacks. And weve reviewed the best ones out there. But many racers have looked for a lighter, more integrated, and more aero solution.And Castellis solution is to combine their top-tier aerodynamic fabric and cut of their road-racing Rosso Corsa skinsuit & jersey designs with a small mesh hydration bladder sleeve integrated high on the back. The result is easy-access storage for an extra 1.5L of water, improved rider aerodynamics creating an effective cowl tucked behind your helmet, and still a standard 3+1 pocket layout for your regular needs.Unbound XL-provenCastelli-sponsored gravel racer Rob Britton wore a prototype of this to his 2025 Unbound XL win last summer interestingly, where Lachlan Morton was riding with extra water in an aero bikepacking bag under his aero bars, not in the Blaerosuit he helped Rapha develop the year before.I received the Unlimited Speedsuit the day before Unbound, and as well as fitting really well, the leg pockets worked a charm nothing moved around and the hydration pocket was dialed. I was also able to replace the bladder quickly during the race My favorite thing about this suit is that its comfortable, as well as being super fast. Ive used it in nearly every race since my Unbound win, and its definitely progressing whats possible in gravel racing.
